RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - AgentBlue - 11-14-2012
1. Join a guild to master his craft!
2. Leave society, for the rules they place on his craft are bulky and stupid!
3. Marriment merriment

It's a tossup between Guilder and Outcast. Even with second place votes. Thirds don't even help!
If we get a tiebreaker before I check tomorrow, great! Otherwise, this gets decided by the Coin of Fate.
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - Robust Laser - 11-14-2012
1. Join a guild! Become supertalented
2. Get the hell outta this place what a dump
3. Find true love, or a reasonable facsimile.
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SeaWyrm - 11-14-2012
Guilder wins!
So, the question is, should our dwarf become
-A Wordbearer, carrying news between dwarven settlements?
-A Hauler, using his muscles to earn a living?
-A Carter, driving the carts that carry trade goods?
-A Hawker, selling goods in the marketplace?
-An Apprentice, learning his craft under a master craftsman?
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SleepingOrange - 11-14-2012
Apprentice
Unless this is another ranked question in which case
Apprentice
Hawker
Carter
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SeaWyrm - 11-14-2012
Yeah, ranked.
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - btp - 11-14-2012
Wordbearer - but the religious kind
Hawker - equally persuasive
Carter - vroomvroom
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - AgentBlue - 11-15-2012
Apprentice
Wordbearer
Hauler!
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - TheBoyd - 11-15-2012
Wordbearer, be a Dog. (Yeah, I'm just going to keep referencing other rpgs)
Hauler
Apprentice
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SeaWyrm - 11-15-2012
Dwarves can't be mormons, don't be silly!
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SeaWyrm - 11-16-2012
Wordbearer it is. The dwarf leaves his job as a tinkerer to go travel between settlements, carrying news and messages. He learns about the various dwarven holds across the land, and picks up a certain quirkiness to his mannerisms, absorbed from the wide variety of cultures and traditions he encounters.
Stats:
One lifepath left. Should he
-Remain among the guilders to be a merchant or apprentice craftsman?
-Return to the clansmen to pick up an agricultural trade?
-Join the dwarven host and become a soldier?
Please do rank these, as we've been getting a lot of ties.

Soldier it is!
Now, does he become
-A simple Foot Soldier?
-A crossbow-wielding Arbalester?
-A Banner Bearer, resigned to the fact that he's likely to be the first to fall in battle?
-A Horncaller, sending signals across the battlefield?
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - Crowstone - 11-17-2012
1. A Bruce Banner Bearer, who brings the hulk to battle
2. An arbalester
3. A horncaller
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - Gnauga - 11-17-2012
1. Horncaller, because he just couldn't stop Wordbearing
2. Footsoldier, lucky enough to hit Proficient and then there was just no stopping him.
3. Arbalester, putting his tinkering nature to use by maintaining his and his squad's machinery.
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - SleepingOrange - 11-17-2012
Arbalester
Foot Soldier
Horncaller
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - AgentBlue - 11-18-2012
Crossbows are awesome. Arbalester.
Then horncaller, since communication is important.
Then finally a foot soldier.
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - Nopad - 11-18-2012
horncaller
arbalester
foot soldier
RE: Let's Burn Up a Character - Not The Author - 11-18-2012
Seems like Horncaller goes best with his current skills - memory, oratory, quick-step, rumor-wise...
Tinkerer would give him the skill to keep his crossbow in top-notch quality as an Arbalester, I s'pose, but he could tinker in his off-hours anyway.
Failing that, Footsoldier could be a good fit - that quirkiness he picked up in his travels (plus quick-step) could make him a difficult opponent to match.
